A section on Style and grammar

Post  MADV on Wed Oct 21, 2009 8:20 am

Considering there are a few of "us" on this 'ere forum who like to discuss all things language related, would it be a good idea to have a dedicated section (it could be a sub-section) where we can ask questions on grammar and style and have some good debates? I find myself asking it in other people's posts and I don't like to hijack their threads. I could, of course, ask it on my other forum but I value the members of this forum's opinions.

Hmmm, an interesting idea, tho possibly a little too off topic for a poker forum? Not sure, hopefully some responses in this thread will help Smile

No sir, surely you jest ?

I think it would be quite a busy section where people could learn something invaluable.

I'd say a remark like this would normally cause me to become uncharacteristically impatient and peremptory. I enjoy your retorts, though so will just make it clear that I don't intend on playing Alphonse and Gaston with you for the amusement of others.
